– The chips will be done when they are no longer bubbling. That means the water is mostly evaporated and they will be pretty crispy once they cool. This will take around 8 minutes, but could take as long as 12-15 minutes depending on how many chips you are frying.

Once the chips are done, scoop them out and let them drain in a bowl with a paper towel.

Season them immediately with a few big pinches of the seasoning.

Season immediately!
